Low Key really is a place that more people need to be talking about. Hands down one of the best drink spots in Portland but nestled out of the way of the busy downtown. The drink menu is so fun, it's perfect for a date or a post dinner dessert cocktail with some friends. They have a few snacks you can get too. We sat outside since it was rather busy and inside was packed but the inside is gorgeous so i will opt for inside the next time. I ordered the Cloud 9 which had a red wine foam and it was AWESOME. The Boozy Affogato is definitely a must order as well - it's beautiful and delicious. i'm only knocking off a star since the service was rather slow and they didn't seem to get to us very fast when we sat outside. I think they could use more staff during the busier season maybe but it is a rather small spot so they can't fit too many customers in there at once. It's definitely worth a trip too and i'm excited to go back! read more

What a cute little cocktail bar with some food as well. I love the decorations inside. It's so cozy and beautiful. Not many tables or a big bar but part of the charm of it. They outside have some outside seating. They have so many fun and amazing cocktails. We got a couple apps as well. The devil eggs were really great. I'll be back to sit outside and try a different drink! read more

This is a good neighborhood cocktail spot! If you're in the hyper immediate area, you should stop by *the literal moment they open* (which as of writing this is 4pm) so a) if it's cold outside, you can snag one of their limited seats inside their very small, very intimate space (I think there's room for maybe 16 or 18 people) or b) if it's warm and lovely outside, you can snag one of their limited seats on the sidewalk (maybe room for 12 or so). Things to note as of writing this: . Happy Hour specials run from 4 to 5:30pm (a handful of drinks are $10); sometimes there are complimentary mixed nuts . They *DO* have mocktail options; and, from my experience, they'd also be happy to make you something creative and delicious off menu too . If you're vegan: they DON'T have (m)any options . If you're not vegan: don't miss out on the dessert! Because, YES, this is really a cocktail and dessert bar. Think seasonal crisps, think whoopie pies, think a couple of rotating housemade soft serve flavors. You could even get a "spiked softserve" (which is essentially a shot and a little scoop; your choice on both, they won't judge your flavor combos!) I've tried a couple cocktails here now, and they were good! Under Neighborhood Favorites, the namesake, Low Key, is absolutely worth getting (rum, coconut milk, blueberry, pineapple, lime): it's well-rounded, not too sweet, and very refreshing. You could easily enjoy a couple of these on an afternoon in the sunshine and leave very, very content! read more

Decided to stop by here for a quick drink before our dinner reservation, and I'm glad we did! It's a super cute little bar with cozy seating and small plates. I loved the interior design--such a nice atmosphere to hang out in. I went with the deviled eggs and a Shackbury cider, and both were delicious. If you're ever in the area, definitely check this spot out! read more

A combo soft serve shop and bar in the East End. Incredibly cute and cozy interior with hightop seating, with minimal outdoor seating. The Lowkey Cocktail is my fav; I also ordered the charcuterie board, which came with a selection of hard and soft cheeses, mustard, jam, and crostini (mini toasts?). It was fine, not great, and was a super small portion for how much it cost. The bruschetta was the same way; tasted good but was barely any food. I didn't get soft serve this time, but it is great!! They also added sundaes to their menu, and some sandwiches, too. Service was super kind and friendly, but for how busy it was, they should have scheduled more staff. A great neighborhood spot, but could use a more extensive food menu! read more

I'm obsessed! Finally checked out Low Key, and I can already tell it's going to be one of my favorite cocktail spots in town. The vibe is exactly as advertised -- super laid-back, but the cocktails are anything but low-key. They're fantastic! We tried two of their signature cocktails, and both were impressive. What I really appreciated was the size -- not tiny at all, so I could enjoy my drink and chat without feeling like I needed to order three more just to keep up. The ambiance inside is perfect -- dimly lit with chill background music that sets a speakeasy vibe. It's such a great spot for a pre- or post-dinner drink. Plus, the service was spot on -- the bartender/waitress checked on us multiple times throughout the night. I can't wait to go back! read more

Sister bar to Jing Yan Tavern across the street and the new addition to Munjoy Hill. No need to explain too much since Jing Yan's drink programs super solid and that's what Low Key exactly is. There's nothing low key about the quality of the drinks here. Excellent ! Small intimate place, come early since it's first serve first come basis. Service is very quick even though there's only 1 bartender made the drink. They have quite some apps/snacks/sandwiches to order. I ordered the Reuben panini with side cucumber salad that's very refreshing. Super delicious, generous with the portion and very good corned beef. For drinks I ordered 2 different drinks : the pick-me-up and low key from their signature cocktails. Completely polar opposite to each other. Pick-me-up is mezcal base, citrusy and refreshing while low key base is rum with milk, blueberry purse that taste deserty. Couldn't be more happier read more

Went to this new spot for a couple drinks and loved it! The outside of the building is very welcoming and has a great look to it. And the inside is perfect for some intimate and relaxing drinks. It's a little dark but that added to it. And the service was great and fast. Everyone there is very nice! The drinks were also very tasty. The selection is limited on their menu but that didn't matter. We got the low key and the espresso martini. Both of the flavors worked very well and I would love to go back to try out some of their other cocktails. I recommend coming here to have a relaxing evening or date. Low key is a perfect name for this place. Definitely give it a try read more

This is a fun little spot with a few small bites and drinks nestled on a quiet corner on a main street in town. We enjoyed the nachos and deviled eggs and a few cocktails that were all reasonably priced. It's fairly small inside but we grabbed a table outside and had consistent service from our waitress. read more

This place is so cool! I love the atmosphere. It's small but rad. Also, best nachos and cocktails.

Favorite local bar in Portland! Intimate, classy, delicious drinks and personal service. Highly recommend !

Beautiful place for great food, great service and a chance to hear your date's conversation. Best Panini I have ever had!

Ambiance is great, super cozy and cute spot. Nachos are delicious and the drinks are great, but we avoid this place at all costs if the girl with the green hair is working. We used to come here regularly before she started. No clue why she's even in the service industry, unbelievably rude and condescending. read more

We stopped at this new bistro in Munjoy Hill. We sat outside with our dog and enjoyed well crafted cocktails and a plate of gourmet nachos. It was a lovely evening and the food and drinks were exemplary. Service was excellent. We'll be back! read more

Lovely atmosphere, more spacious and relaxing than predecessor in that location. Drinks very good, Charcuterie board not up to snuff and can't recommend--comes with tiny wheat thins, pieces of American cheese and large slices of prosciutto and salami that don't fit on wheat thins. No mustard to eat charcuterie independently. Should be easy to improve and certainly needs pickle or some kind of veggie or fruit. Would definitely return however. read more
